Super Mario Galaxy was perhaps the obvious choice for inspiration for the next Mario movie - from it's emotive backstories, cinematic score and awe-inspiring moments, it really feels like it belongs on the big screen with the best Science Fiction epics and Space Operas.

But how does it achieve this feeling? And does it hold us as one of the best games of all time? On today's episode, I chat with Jayce about why this game means so much to them as I'm sure it does to all my viewers.

It feels strange to call one of the most beloved Mario games of all time "underrated" but sandwiched between the beloved Mario RPG and Thousand-Year Door, the original N64 Paper Mario can sometimes feel like it is. But does this game have its own special something?

On today's episode, I chat with Josh Covel from the Still Loading podcast all about this cozy, quirky classic!
